Paul Pogba is poised to set two personal goalscoring records at Manchester United this season.

The 25-year-old hit double figures for the first time in his United career with a penalty against Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday to become the club's top scorer outright this campaign.

Pogba has already claimed as many goals under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a month as he did under Jose Mourinho this term and was voted the United player of the month by supporters for December.

During his four years with Juventus, Pogba's best goalscoring campaign in Serie A was eight goals in 2014-15 and 2015-16 and he equalled that figure with United in the win over Brighton. The most Pogba has tallied in a club season is 10 and he is on that figure with United.

Four of Pogba's domestic strikes this term have come via penalties, be it directly or on the rebound, and he resumed spotkick duties after winning one against Brighton. Jesse Lingard took United's previous penalty at Cardiff but Solskjaer clarified that Pogba was United's main taker.

"Pogba is the penalty taker but we have players who want to take it," Solskjaer said. "If they want to take they can argue amongst themselves but he’s the nominated one.

"He scores them, so that’s what matters. I wouldn’t have done it [with the stuttered run-up], I would have just ran to the ball and smashed it! But he kept his calm having had to wait two minutes to take it and that shows how composed he is.

"In front of the Stretford End, why don’t you just enjoy it?"

On the eve of the Brighton match, Pogba opined that Solskjaer had restored the Sir Alex Ferguson culture to United.

"It’s like home for him, he knows he didn’t really change, he came back to the time of Ferguson I would say," Pogba told Football Focus. "The training, the way we use the box, it’s everything like before.
